Eye Surprise

We initially liked this collection because of its sexy, uber-vivid shades, but we fell crazy in love when we realized the formula was crease- and smudge-proof. Seriously, once applied, these shadows will not move, and they refuse to settle in fine lines and crinkles around the eye. Love!

Nothing's more embarrassing than a painstakingly filled-in brow that slides down your face by midnight. Stop your arches in their tracks with this seriously waterproof powder gel formula that sets in under two minutes…and stays.

A waterproof, smear-resistant foundation is a holiday party must. This one comes in a zillion fab shades, plus it dries to a velvety-smooth finish that stays put for up to 12 hours, thanks to water-repelling silicones.

Created by makeup artists who needed their models to stay matte under hot lights, this setting mist magically locks in foundation and eye makeup all day—no need for touchups! Plus, it dries to a translucent, non-sticky finish; you won't even know it's there. A New Year's Eve party essential.

This two-in-one wand is a party must-have, period. Blended over bare skin (under makeup), it helps your face stay put for hours—plus, it's infused with light-diffusing highlighters, so it brightens and illuminates dull skin, as well.

Before a night of cocktailing and air-kissing, a you need a lipcolor that won't budge. This dual-ended gem comes with a tinted marker that lasts up to eight hours, plus a moisturizing balm that refreshes color during the night.
